I've decided that I like Fred Thompson for president. I had been thinking that nobody in the race matched me closely enough that I could in clear conscience vote for them. But Fred Thompson will do just fine, if he means the things he is saying.

People should get involved in politics. Their country, states, and cities are important to them (even if they don't know it, yet!), and they should follow politics. Eventually, a lot more people should put their hats into the ring than do. I may run for city council or school board some day. I think I could do some good there.
